Leadership is often framed as what we think or say. But research shows the body plays a far greater role. Somatic awareness, the ability to notice and regulate physical signals like tension, breath, and posture, directly impacts resilience, empathy, and communication.
✅ Leaders who practice somatic awareness show faster stress recovery (Frontiers in Psychology, 2023).
✅ Teams interpret up to 70% of communication through non-verbal cues (Harvard research).
✅ Breath-based coherence improves decision-making under pressure by 24% (HeartMath studies).
The next time you step into a meeting or a tough conversation—remember it’s not only about your words, but the signals your body sends.
Curious how this shapes resilience, empathy, and influence?
